New Homes to rent in Central London: One Crown Place EC2A

Excellent new home developments are completing this year in Central London, and some are very close to the City. Residents staying firmly based in London are looking for extra rental values though. The contemporary city lifestyle demands sustainably driven developments with high quality, flexible accommodation combined with every possible onsite amenity.  One such development which is performing superbly this year is One Crown Place. Every new property added to our lettings list has found a tenant in a record time and has achieved the most desired rental asked by its landlord.

One Crown Place, which completed earlier in 2021, is a delightful boutique development with address in Hackney, but on the map very close to the City of London. A striking set or two high rise buildings is anchored in a narrow plot of land just off Sun Street and close to Finsbury Square and Broadgate Circle EC2A. This contemporary urban scheme truly is a masterly amalgamation of old and new, for the site incorporates a Victorian heritage building, a 1950’s office block and a brand new set towers connected via a distinctive podium structure. The residential part is thus nestled into a ‘mini’ village setting that will soon include a hotel, pub, retail and workspace providing day-night buzz and vibrancy. There is nothing ostentatious in the resi ground floor quarters’ entrance which is accessed via a welcoming and pieceful, off street courtyard planted with mature trees and shrubbery. The team’s design artistry is on full display in each apartment’s décor, as well as in the outstanding residents’ facilities set on the sixth floor.

Apartments: To maximise light and brightness in each property, which could be an issue in a densely built urban environment, most apartments feature flexible and moveable folding doors and industrial style designed glass partitions. The open plan features extensive glazing affording various City views, and is made to expanded or compress, depending on individual preferences and function it has to perform. Highly efficient kitchen appliances, bathroom fittings and general underfloor heating and air-cooling fixtures are high tech and smart, but at the same time very simple to operate giving a resident total control of the environment in which to live or work. The choice of luxury materials, providing low maintenance and durability, includes herringbone wood floors, brickwork porcelain tiles, marble bathroom ware, glass room dividers, graphite metalwork and reeded glass shower screens.

Amenities: Residents’ communal viewing terrace is set on the sixth floor and affords unique, far-reaching views of London with glimpses of Southbank (the Shard) the City, Moorgate, Shoreditch and Islington. The uplifting and cheerful residents’ lounge is beautifully decorated with furniture in bold colours and playful shapes, complimented with contemporary light fittings and amongst a collection of inspiring artwork. There is a lounge, meeting room, a private dining room, gym and a pocket cinema.

Location: The One Crown Place Travel Zone 1 location is perfect for anyone who preferred the awesome City of London’s enduring energy and setting. The vibrant Shoreditch, Hoxton and Whitechapel districts are a short walk away. The new Liverpool Street Crossrail station completing soon together with another substantial overhaul of the attractive Bradgate Circle open air public realm nearby, is a huge draw for anyone looking to move back to the City.
